Abstract

Photographic magenta dye-forming couplers have the general formula: ##STR1## wherein: A represents the atoms necessary to complete, with the nitrogen atom to which it is attached, a magenta dye-forming coupler moiety whose coupling position is inactivated by the --CHR.sup.1 R.sup.2 group; PA0 CHR.sup.1 R.sup.2 is a blocking group which, upon reaction with oxidized color developing agent, is detached from the coupler moiety to yield a mobile reaction product; PA0 R.sup.1 is alkyl--O--CO--, alkyl--CO--, aryl--O--CO--, aryl--CO--, --COOH, --NO.sub.2 or --CN and PA0 R.sup.2 is a group specified for R.sup.1 or aryl--NHCO--. These couplers can be incorporated in photographic elements, emulsions and processing compositions.
